Normark took part in Microvision Song Contest 2023 with the song "I Dovregubbens hall" (In the hall of the mountain king), music by Edvard Grieg and libretto by Henrik Ibsen. The piece is sung by Malmö Chamber Choir & Boys' and Girls' Choruses of the Lund Cultural School, while the music is played by Malmö Symphony Orchestra.

The song is sung in Norse.

Surviving in the Boreal North, where troll-like Bassarids and traitors abound, can be a feat of improbable endurance.

Lyrics

(The troll-courtiers): Slagt ham! Kristenmands søn har dåret
Dovregubbens veneste mø!
Slagt ham!
Slagt ham!
(a troll-imp): Må jeg skjære ham i fingeren?
(another troll-imp): Må jeg rive ham i håret?
(a troll-maiden): Hu, hej, lad mig bide ham i låret!
(a troll-witch with a ladle): Skal han lages til sod og sø?
(another troll-witch, with a butcher knife): Skal han :steges på spid eller brunes i gryde?
(the Mountain King): Isvand i blodet!

Translation

Slay him! The Christian's son has bewitched
The Mountain King's fairest daughter!
Slay him!
Slay him!
May I cut his fingers?
May I pull out his hair?
Ho, hey, let me bite his thighs!
Shall he be boiled into broth and bree?
Shall he be roasted on a spit or browned in a pot?
Ice water in the blood!
